Is this instrument suitable for a wide range of surgeries?
Yes, it is highly versatile. Its design makes it an essential tool for various medical fields, including:
- Abdominal and cardiovascular surgery for holding back large organs.
- Neurosurgery and ophthalmology where precise exposure is critical.
- Body contouring procedures requiring careful tissue manipulation for implant placement.
Is the material safe for patients with latex sensitivities?

Does this product meet government procurement standards?
Yes, the Sklar Zalkind Ribbon Retractor is TAA compliant, meaning it meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act, making it suitable for use in government and federally-funded clinical settings.
What is the benefit of the CensiTrac marking?
The CensiTrac marking provides improved asset management and traceability. It allows healthcare facilities to track the instrument through their sterilization and inventory management systems efficiently, ensuring consistent tracking of reusable assets.
Are there any special instructions for initial use?
Yes, please note that the retractor is supplied non-sterile in factory-new condition. It must undergo the appropriate facility-approved sterilization process before its first use in a clinical environment.
Is this a factory-new surgical instrument?
Yes, you are receiving a Factory New instrument directly from Sklar. It arrives in pristine, unused condition, ensuring that you start with a high-grade tool that has not been subjected to prior clinical wear.
What are the physical dimensions of the blade?
This model is specifically designed for substantial retraction needs, measuring:
- Length: 13 inches
- Width: 2-1/2 inches
This size provides a large surface area for effective, stable retraction of tissues and organs.
Is the design optimized for patient safety?
Yes. The retractor features smoothly curved, rounded terminals at both ends of the blade. This deliberate design prevents sharp points of contact, minimizing the risk of accidental tissue trauma during manual retraction.
